After two years of travelling, 21 year-old Madeleine King is ready to get a job. Coincidentally Albus Dumbledore is looking for assistants to work with the Hogwarts professors. This could be Madeleine's chance to work towards becoming a Herbology teacher, her absolute dream! So she applies. But of course dreams often don't come true and she has to work with the only professor she didn't want to work with at all.
